HSRM does currently not offer its own accommodation for students.
However, in order to meet the accommodation needs of our exchange students, we work closely with private providers of student accommodation in Wiesbaden.

Exchange students have the opportunity to apply to us for the available room contingents with these providers.
Applications are made via the International Office of Hochschule RheinMain – University of Applied Sciences and Arts as part of the exchange application process. You will receive further information on available student accommodation with your application link. 

There are no tuition fees at HSRM. Hoewever, students pay a semester fee. The reduced semester fee for exchange students is currently around 320 Euro. With the semester fee, all students receive the Deutschland-Ticket, which enables them to use local and regional public transport throughout Germany. 

For living expenses, students should expect around 1000 Euro per month (for accommodation, food and other expenses). This corresponds to the monthly amount that must be proven when applying for a visa or residence permit (currently 992 Euro/month). On the website of the German Academic Exchange Service (DAAD) you will find further information on the subject.

As part of our Blended Welcome Weeks for Exchange Students, we welcome all exchange students to Wiesbaden on March 11, 2026.
Previous offers will take place online.

Our intensive German course for exchange students will take place from March 16 - 28, 2026 at the campus Kurt-Schumacher-Ring in Wiesbaden.

Lectures period starts on April 13, 2026.
